Not much at all unless by 'support' you mean an advantageous tax regime, an aggressive foreign policy that supports companies that are mostly owned by the government, significantly different workers rights on hiring and firing (the ads in the Straits Times would make the legal stoush with DJ over hiring of young blonde F/As seem like a side show if it were Australia) and tight control of the press.
